There's stupid... and then there's Kevin.
Now this is our kind of politics. Here's the full BBC News story, but the title pretty much says it all. A regional assembly in Kenya's Homa Bay had to take a 10 minute break due to a particularly awful trouser-cloud someone laid in the chamber. Apparently there was a conversation over blame and an ensuing scramble to find some kind of air freshener, but the debate-stopping fart dissipated enough after a while for business to continue. We've read about farts shutting down job sites, but a fart that halt local government is a new high.
This certainly brings to mind the old saying about how people don't necessarily leave bad jobs, but instead they leave bad managers. One bad manager can completely upend an otherwise enjoyable gig. Just picturing the look on this manager's face by the end of these employees' time with the company is enough to get the laughs rolling. Dude must've been beside himself.
As far as relationship blunders go, arranging your mother and family to be at your wedding anniversary behind your wife's back sounds like a big one. Not sure what was going through the guy's mind when he decided to covertly get his mom into the mix, but the wife is understandably peeved. For another interesting one, here's a girlfriend who beat her upset boyfriend at a steak eating challenge.
Self improvement is a noble pursuit, and all of us could use some advice here and there to help us live our lives better. Wherever that advice is, it won't be found here. These are all just dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. Maybe you'll get some directions on how to alienate your friends or make your life worse, but that's where the fun is.
There's a fine line between a clever pun and mind-blowingly stupid pun, and honestly it seems like there's no way of knowing which is which until it's already been thrown out there. Kind of like a faulty antique grenade, but for laughter. Here are some more dad jokes that go father than ever before.
Most of us would agree that safety rules are important to follow. But when rules are enforced not on their utility but on the satisfactions of the people getting to abuse them, that's where people get petty. For another story of pettiness, here's a coworker who complained too much about free pizza and encouraged a petty feast.
To put it bluntly, children aren't completely people. Their brains aren't done cooking yet, and they're absolutely not ready to bear the solemn, bill-paying mantle of adulthood. What you get are some prime examples of how weird and dumb kids are. They get their heads stuck in chairs, throw tantrums when they don't get to eat cleaning products, and climb on TVs. Kids are weird and dumb.
Man, these incompetent scammers just keep on coming right out of the woodwork. In this case, it sounds like the scammer was in way over their head from the start. On top of that, they'd clearly overplayed their scam to such a point that it was just going to be too easy to rightfully shut them down. Hence, the payment request and what we'd imagine was a very surprised and displeased scammer.
